Cosmas Mwikirize

Advisor

Cosmas Mwikirize is a former Associate Principal
Investigator of the [email protected] Project (2011-2014) and an Assistant Lecturer in
the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Makerere University. He is currently a Fulbright fellow, and a PhD candidate
of Biomedical Engineering at Rutgers
University. His current
research interest is improving 2D/3D ultrasound for guidance of minimally
invasive procedures such as percutaneous biopsies, pain management and
brachytherapy. He has a passion for working with and inspiring young people to
develop technology that has potential for global impact, especially in the
health sector.

He led the team that developed the first internet
laboratories (iLabs) in collaboration with Massachusetts Institute of
Technology (MIT)-USA.
From 2009-2011, he was a research fellow on the iLab-Africa Program, supported
by the Carnegie Corporation of New
York. His work, undertaken in collaboration with MIT
and the iLab Global Alliance yielded better approaches for to utilizing iLabs
in resource challenged settings. He also initiated efforts to promote science
and technology innovation in Ugandan secondary schools through inception of the
annual Science and Technology Innovations Challenge (STIC). The competition
aims to unearth and support innovators through project based learning, with a
focus on robotics and mobile phone technologies.

Cosmas is a board member representing East Africa on the Board of Africa Fulbright Network. Africa
Fulbright Network brings together thousands of current African scholars and
alumni/alumnae that have benefited from the Fulbright Program-the USA's flagship
international educational exchange Program, supported by the Department of
State. Since 2013, he has served as a mentor and judge for [email protected], a
competition that supports student led high impact projects geared toward
solving the world’s most pressing problems such as affordable and quality
healthcare, and sustainable energy alternatives.

Maximus Byamukama

Advisor

Is a PHD
candidate researching in Embedded Systems for Environment Monitoring, their
design for robustness and low power consumption. The PHD is focused on
minimizing human interaction with automatic weather stations, particularly on
the development of new techniques to improve reliability of the software,
hardware and power supply to deliver ‘deploy and forget’ designs to the
industry and meteorological authorities to save time and money. He pursed his
Masters’ Degree in Electronic Communications and Computer Engineering in Dec
2011 at The University of Nottingham.

Maximus
has experience in Electronic engineering from Chilwell (April to December,
2011) where he researched in concrete preservation technologies and the
development and manufacture of patented electrochemical corrosion prevention
systems, a Software developer with Ikanos in the United Kingdom where he
developed the core classes for WPF Enterprise Applications (April to October, 2010),
Instrumentation and microcontroller programming from the Uganda Industrial
Research Institute (April to October, 2010)

Alvin
Kabwama

Electronics and Product Design Engineer

One of the co-founders at Innovex and LabTECH Innovations, he started his innovation journey through robotics way back in high school at St Mary's College Kisubi in Uganda and is currently the head of product design at LabTECH Innovations and Innovex Uganda Limited.

He is an electronics and product design engineer trained at Makerere University and Singularity University in the NASA Ames Research Centre, Silicon Valley California, with 5 years’ experience in instrumentation and sensor development, robotics, electronics, drone development and navigation, Machine Learning and Vision, Virtual and Augmented Reality.

He has been a product design engineer on a number of ground breaking projects including Matibabu, non-invasive malaria diagnosis application for early instant malaria detection, BreastIT which is also a phone application coupled with hardware that is used on a woman’s breast and tests for lumps in the breast using ultrasound to be able to recreate the images of these cancerous lumps, and UriSAF which hardware and software based solution for effective diagnosis and monitoring of antenatal and sexual reproductive health in low resource settings.

His goal is to leverage the use of exponential technologies to be able to solve humanity's biggest challenges.
